[Collalysine treatment of intraocular hemorrhages].

Abstract

For treatment of 35 patients with intraocular hemorrhages (22 persons with hemophthalmos and 13 persons with hemorrhages into the retina) collalysin was injected subconjunctivally, 50 CU in a 0.3 ml of 0.5% novocaine solution. A course of treatment consisted of 10-12 injections. A control group included patients treated by fibrolysin injections (22 persons). Collalysin proved to be more effective: initial visual acuity from light perception to 0.03 increased to 0.1 and higher in 50% of patients and to 0.4-0.7 in 22.7%. Thus, subconjunctival injections of collalysin in treatment of intraocular hemorrhages stimulate its effectiveness.
